Trivial Pursuit: STAR WARS ORIGINAL TRILOGY (Part III)
Time

Wait, Does that mean i can now reply incorrectly to a 6 point question and still get the points? - kinda devious. Alos would one still have to get in 'first' to activate it or say, could I answer an already answered question?

Re: accumulated points, Yeah i was sorta thinking more in terms of 'later on' rather than a rund to round thing.

Will there be ofensive powerups as well, ie: leach some points from another player? - just curious.

 

What alien language was created by combining African and South Pacific dialects? 2 POINTS

gonna take a stab and say Sullustan. - i Think that's right, That's what nien nunb is right? [sp?]

- not wishing to use the invincibility star at this time ;) - i CAN save it for another round within part II right?

EDIT: just re-read, If I HAVE to use the powerup now then so be it. Please clarify, Thanks.

Clone Wars 2008 Redux - working title - CANCELLED
Time

Here's an idea - Cut the movie length pilot down to a 22 minute pilot? [If you don't then i might...;)] You could trim a lot of fat during padded out battle sequences where nothing really feels at stake and no one is gaining the upper hand.

Add the Fox fanfare and logos, Skyjedi? - Overall I think that's a terrible idea - as much as fans might enjoy it. I'd think that sort of thing to be misleading and insulting. This is not a fox release - people just need to deal with that, Does anyone really care outside of hearing the fanfare? - Makes people seem kinda shallow.

However, An opening crawl and JW main theme might work, I support your dialogue changes, if it all works out well. The droids are far too slapstick.

It might be interesting down the track to mix a few episodes into a fresh movie, But I guess we'll have to wait and see how things play out...

What really annoys me most about the film is the boring plotline. everything else is minor, I don't really mind a lot of things that a lot of people seem to be up in arms about.

Metallica - Death Magnetic

I'm liking Unforgiven 3 but overall I'm feeling liek the songs really drag. they go on and on for minutes at a time without actually doing anythig that sounds overly interesting.

And a lot of the time all I can really hear is Lars banging away. It's certainly a step up from the last album but it's just not as good as say Load / Reload - Yes i know the die hard fans whinge about those but they had some rocking sounds.

Not saying it's crap, it's too early on to judge but I'm already noticing things that turn me off a little. It's like they just dont 'get' it anymore.

Curious as to what others think / Will think. Wonder what Dave Mustaine thinks... ;)

Anyone else think that whoever voices Anakin, pathetically enough, does better than Hayden?

Oh yes, I find myself liking Prequel era Anakin for the first time in, well...ever.

Surely the show WILL continue to ravage continuity but hey, It looks like a bit of fun. I'm sure the music is temporary, They have often used previously available music in star wars trailers.

Idea: edits for Mummy 3 - and The X Files 2
Time

I really hope you didn't watch the mummy 3 expecting something good. When I first saw the trailer i thought it looked interesting...right up to the end where i saw the directors name - Rob Cohen. I that precise point i expected it to be a waste of time. I will watch it at some point and may well enjoy it somewhat...but i wont get excited for it.

Have you considered maybe combining elements of the 2nd and 3rd mummy films - I don't know the general consensus but the 2nd film felt 'cheap' to me.

I also like your idea of presenting  X-files 2 as a few episodes. have you planned anything out or are you just thinking out loud at this point?

Yet ANOTHER DVD boxed set...*sigh*
Time

I never heard any legitimate talk of re-releasing TPM with a CG rendered Yoda - ONLY speculation. The shot in question was a test by the animators to basically get warmed up for EP3 - IIRC they didn't have the script yet and so used TPM as a base to Work on some scenes, Much like they used scenes of Yoda in empire initially before AOTC. I could b e wrong but that is my recollection...

Requiem for a Clone War dream... (2003 series) (* unfinished project * - lots of info)
Time

^ I'm actually considering whether to do that [Re: Main logo]. I haven't decided. I still haven't done a FINAL quality crawl - Because it takes a while to render. Want to make sure i've got it looking good and free of errors before then.

Yes I will be adding a crawl. The opening shot of the movie is a post crawl pan down to the ships exiting hyperspace at the start of chapter 2 of the series - The battle of Muunilist.

The scene in Palps office from chapter 1 will be used for a sort of flashback sequence later on and the rest of chapter 1 was exposition via monolgue which we don't need if there's a crawl - and shots that in part get re-used later on [various Jedi in battle] - therefore safe to remove.

keep the caps coming, -1...I agree for the most part. I didn't like how Tatooine is becoming a 'bright centre to the universe but it was cool to see Jabba's palace, And Dooku and Ventress actually working together, We didn't get that sort of thing last time around.

The sore point here is not that it sucked but that they are charging people $12.50 for it [Your ticket price may vary].

Has it ever actually been revealed how Anakin got that scar on his face? - I ask because In the 2d series it is 'revealed' to us and to Padme Some time after he became a Jedi Knight - he had LONG hair at the time, But here he is with much shorter hair and a visible scar...My point being Padme's reaction as though she had NEVER seen the scar before.

EDIT, Just noticed for the first time Dooku with orange 'sith' eyes...rewatched the latest trailer.

Requiem for a Clone War dream... (2003 series) (* unfinished project * - lots of info)
Time

Having recently watched 'The Clone Wars' movie I've been considering maybe not using 'clone wars' in the title, What are people's thoughts on this? I was thinking of going with something fairly Star Warsian like "Galactic Conflict" or some such...

Ideas / Suggestions?

It's getting late now, I'll try get on tomorrow with some details...
